For example, shown in the process flow diagram of Fig. 3, use the image processing system that constitutes like this to carry out image and form.
Parameter value and image forming conditions when obtaining the formation of last image in advance.Under the image forming conditions of regulation, form image (ACT1-1), and the environment value when obtaining last image such as relative humidity by sensor 11 and forming, parameter values such as the developer age when obtaining the last image and form by counter 13.And the image forming conditions the when environment value that obtains forms with last images such as development contrast stores in the storer 14 in the image processing system 10 (ACT1-2).Afterwards, disconnect the power supply of image processing system 10.
After placing a week, connect the power supply of image processing system, and from sleep state, recover (ACT1-3).Before forming image once more, obtain current relative humidity equally, and store in the storer 14 in the image processing system 10 (ACT1-4).
Here, Fig. 4 shows as the development compared potential of image forming conditions and the relation of relative humidity.As shown in Figure 4, in initial developer, be used to the development compared potential and the proportional relation of relative humidity of the picture contrast that obtains to stipulate.Fig. 4 shows the value that the developer of handling behind the regulation number promptly stipulates to have used the developer of phase simultaneously.Though initial developer development compared potential reduces with respect to relative humidity, its trend is identical substantially.That is, no matter used the phase, the development compared potential is with respect to the alteration trend almost fixed of relative humidity.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 5, in arithmetic element 15, the development compared potential A of the relative humidity a when indicating last image with respect to storage and forming, and at the point that connects sign and have on the straight line of trend shown in Figure 4, obtain the development compared potential B corresponding with the current relative humidity b that stores.Like this, predict the suitableeest development compared potential, and do not carry out picture quality adjustment described later (ACT1-5) as executive condition.
Then, in image forming part 16, carry out pressure toner consumption (renewal) (ACT1-6) with the image comparison current potential of prediction.By the amount that supply with to consume again, thereby change a part of toner in the developing apparatus of supplying with developer.
Before forcing toner consumption end back, image to form, carry out picture quality adjustment (ACT1-7).,, on the secondary transfer printing band, measure its concentration (adhesion amount) here by sub-image and the development that on photoreceptor, forms regulation, thereby with image forming conditions optimizations such as image comparison current potential, charged bias voltage, exposure intensities.Then, in image forming part 16, carry out image with the image forming conditions of optimization and form (ACT1-8).

Place after the week, connect the power supply of image processing system, and from sleep state, recover (ACT2-3).Before image once more forms, obtain for example current relative humidity and time on date equally, and store in the storer 14 in the image processing system 10 (ACT2-4).
In arithmetic element 15,, calculate humidity and change and the attonity time, as the change (ACT2-5) of parameter value according to being stored in last image in the storer 14 when forming and current relative humidity and the time on date.And, at each parameter, judge whether to carry out pressure toner consumption (ACT2-6).For example, when humidity changed more than or equal to setting or attonity time more than or equal to the stipulated time, judgement will be carried out.
For judging the parameter that to carry out, obtain toner replacing amount (ACT2-7) as executive condition.Can obtain toner replacing amount by the table shown in Fig. 7 A, Fig. 7 B that is stored in advance in the storer 14 with respect to the toner replacing amount of each parameter value.
Relatively,, determine toner replacing amount (ACT2-8), force toner consumption (ACT2-9) thereby carry out by selecting many (the high person of level) based on the toner replacing amount of each parameter.At this moment, for example, the image comparison current potential is fixed, and be equivalent on the offset medium of A3, the full version that forms the number that is equivalent to toner replacing amount is printed pattern such as (solid printing) regulation, thereby discharges the toner of ormal weight.And, by supplying with the amount consumed again, thereby change a part of toner in the developing apparatus of supplying with developer.
After forcing toner consumption to be finished, similarly to Example 1, before forming, image carries out picture quality adjustment (ACT2-10).And, in image forming part 16, carry out image with the image forming conditions of optimization and form (ACT2-11).
Like this, by obtaining executive condition according to table with respect to the toner replacing amount of each parameter value, can carry out suitable pressure toner consumption simply, and after consecutive image form, can suppress the variation of image color etc., form thereby carry out stable image.
In embodiment 1 and embodiment 2,, preferably begin image formation at every turn and all automatically force toner consumption in order to keep picture quality.And, also can at the appointed time form the picture pattern of the corresponding replacing tone dosage of being scheduled to, thereby force toner consumption.For example, after the long-term less number of intermittent printing etc., be resultful when printing continuously etc. with high image quality.
(embodiment 3)
In the present embodiment, though use similarly to Example 1 image processing system, not that prediction is forced the executive condition of toner consumption but difference on this aspect of prediction updated images formation condition in image forms.
That is to say that the prediction of the executive condition that consumes with the pressure toner of embodiment 1 is same, shown in the process flow diagram of Fig. 8, wait under the initial pictures formation condition development compared potential to form image (ACT3-1).And, when image forms beginning, as initial parameter value, obtain initial environment values such as relative humidity by sensor 11, obtain the origination date time by clock 12, obtain initial developer by counter 13 and used the phase (ACT3-2), and store in the storer 14.
When beginning through predetermined processing time or predetermined processing number, similarly obtain environment value, time on date and developer once more with parameter values such as phase (ACT3-3) from image formation.And, similarly to Example 1, based on the parameter value of obtaining in advance that is stored in relevant, the initial pictures formation condition initial parameter value between image forming conditions in the storer 14 and each parameter and has obtained, prediction current optimal image forming conditions (ACT3-4) in arithmetic element 15.
And, will be updated to the condition of prediction in the image forming conditions in the image forming part 16, and continue image formation (ACT3-5).
Even in image such as printing formed continuously, environment values such as relative humidity, developer also changed age.And the toner carried charge also changes according to the image formation time.Therefore, in the prior art, per stipulated time or every processing regulation number all carry out the picture quality adjustment.But, in order to adjust picture quality, need make device temporarily stop the time of certain degree.
According to present embodiment owing to can in image forms, obtain each parameter value, and based on these each parameter value update image formation conditions, so can be for a long time stop device not, continue thereby image is formed.
